Summary

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates is an audiobook presented as a letter that was written to the author’s teenager son. In the letter, he included a lot of symbolisms, feelings and even realities related with being black in the U.S. In the audiobook, the author tells the U.S. history and explains his son how racist violence is immersed in America’s culture.

He narrates the story from the perspective of his experience of youth in Baltimore. He explains how different institutions such as school, police, and even “the street” applied discipline, threatened and even endangered the life of black men and women.

It is an intelligently masterpiece that, according to Toni Morrison, filled an intellectual gao that was left by Baldwin.

Review

The audiobook by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me is in incredible representation of how American Culture has tried to pacify the black people’s struggle by trying to silence their rage and unconformity of living in a Society that still showcases disadvantages towards the black men and women.

This amazing audiobook is presented as a letter written for the author’s teen son. There he explains how American History is filled with blood shed by black men and women that have been fighting for hundreds of year asking for a change. A lot has been achieved in the fight for racial equality. However, Coates presents a white supremacy that will never cease to exist which is why the black men and women will always be struggling against it.

This book has been regarded as an intellectual piece of art and has received the MacArthur Genius Award. The book is seemed as a combination of non-fiction, political theory and autobiography.

Between the World and Me clearly screams the fact that it is a tradition that the American system destroys the black. He says that this behavior was encrypted in America’s culture since the very beginning of the nation, and it was also reinforced during its development and this is why the black men and women will always have to fight for their right not to be disembodied.

"You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body."
Ta-Nehisi Coates, "Between the World and Me"

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates - This is a book that takes time to digest - I'm glad I listened to it an audio (read by the author!) It is honest, brutal, and while I don't always agree with what he says, I think this is one where it's important to just listen.

“They were not human to me. Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could — with no justification — shatter my body.”- Between the World and Me - Ta-Nehisi Coates about 9/11 responders.

Ta-Nehisi Coates' BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME. A study into the operating logic of the American Dream, + of US itself: white wealth+prosperity was/is only possible through slave labour, dispossession. This letter to his son shows how that legacy is passed onto future generations.

Ta-nehisi Coates, thank you for Between the World and Me. I was taught to mistrust the promise of The Dream & I strive to unlearn many other lessons communicated to me w/out words. This I believe: I can not avoid personal culpability if I will not help unmake the evil around me.

Equality: Ta-Nehisi Coates
He has been described as the "James Baldwin of our era.” He uses the written word as a tool for activism, poignantly capturing black American identity with essays like “The Case For Reparations” and his book “Between the World and Me.”

BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, Ta-Nehisi Coates. A visceral and erudite meditation on what it means to be black in America. When I came up for breath I’d marvel that this is a letter to his son, who must be more patient with good writing than mine are.

Whatever one's thoughts about Ta-Nehisi Coates' ideas, he deserves enormous respect for turning down a NYT column, which he did *before* Between The World And Me/MacArthur/Black Panther. He knew his worth. As a public intellectual, he now towers over all of the NYT columnists.

No. 07 - Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Elegant and honest, like a waltz at gunpoint. A stunning exploration of the black experience, told with the revelry of the written word as the tool that shatters the opaque pane of willfull ignorance.

This harkens back to Ta-Nehisi Coates's book, 'Between the World and Me,' where Coates assumes that a white woman who shoves his child does so because of "white womanhood" when actually she could have done that because she's just a b*tch who would do that to anyone.

We live in a racist society. White people already define themselves as "White first" all too often, as witnessed in movements like the KKK/ Nazis, etc. Think about why you feel threatened by being identified as white, and check out Ta-Nehisi Coates' "Between the World and Me."

These are the preferences of the universe itself: verbs over nouns, actions over states, struggle over hope.” ― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me. divine protection jworgchildabuse ~ teaching women 2b abuse receptive self loathing cowards

hated the main characters & their virtuous tone & wondered "Whatever happened to the protagonist's rage?"
Can I recommend everyone read Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It's a different theme but beautiful & honest.
I've moved on to Colum McCann whose writing I love.

Also, maybe instead of just reading white takes on slavery and racism, no matter how well-intentioned, we could also read black perspectives like Ralph Ellison's “Invisible Man," bell hooks' "Ain't I A Woman" and Ta-Nehisi Coates' "Between the World and Me"

We are continuing our Celebration of African American authors by highlighting one of the finest authors alive. Ta-Nehisi Coates won the National Book Award in 2015 with “Between the World and Me”, a moving letter to his teenage son about being black in the United States.

I have to read Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates for one of my courses and ended up borrowing it from my 15 year old brother who had already read it. Needless to say he's a lot cooler than i was at 15.

Just finished reading Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Waited too long to read it. Took too long to finish it. Needed time between parts to think about it. It’s a must read. I’m trying to find a way to express what it means to me.

Currently reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me. I wish I could process it with others who grew up in the DMV, specifically PG County (Largo wassup ).
I had no direct experience with police aggressiveness, but do remember feeling classism between neighborhoods.

"So I took the agony of that era like a collection notice and hit it away in the upper dresser of the mind, resolved to return to it when I had the means to pay."- Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me, 2015)

Whether it’s his book, “Between the World and Me” or his various essays that’ve been published to the Atlantic over the years (many of those essays make up the book, “We Were Eight Years in Power), you all should keep up with Ta-Nehisi Coates.

I still have your cat’s cradle book lol but def read invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk or damned by the same author. Or Between The World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I can’t think of others rn but I’ll check my book shelf tomorrow for more recs lol

I have my students read Ta-Nehisi Coates's excerpt from Between the World and Me that's at the Atlantic, where he explains why he's the kind of writer he is (his history, his education, etc) and they have to write their own reflection on themselves

A snapshot of my lectures and teaching across seven days: Ta-Nehisi Coates, “Between the World and Me”; Literacy, Literature and the Transformative Power of Words; S-Town; Paris is Burning; Grace Jones.
